It’s amazing his legacy isn’t judged more harshly.

It’s rare (in my experience) to hear anyone critique this state of affairs

Do you know anyone on disability / social security?

Unless the improved quality would result directly in increased profit for Reddit Inc., I don't see why they would bother paying for a service that people will FIGHT to do for free. If you sacked every single mod on Reddit today, most of them would be replaced within a day by more power-hungry individuals that will mod endless content for a simple ego boost.

Please close this thread. Our corporate overlords assure us the economy is quite healthy and vibrant. Please maintain your spending on consumer goods, vote Biden, live long and prosper.

Being able to be convinced is a good character trait... there's such a large amount of people today that have already made up their mind regarding various issues and will not listen to any contrary arguments.

But you don’t need a scapegoat. The problem is literally the billionaires.

Talk about whiplash. You really think the SOLE cause of the problems are down to tens of individuals?

Using “diversity” or “inclusive” as a bad word.

Using 88 without reason (or 1488).

There’s also people using the term “Monday” to refer to black people. (So they can say “I hate Mondays” and stuff without it being immediately obvious).

“Those [kinds of] people” is another pretty transparent one.

In Canada, there was “traditional Anglo-Saxon words”, lol

None of these seem apolitical to me. I would associate most of these with right wing philosophies. I was specifically looking for examples of apolitical dog-whistles.

Arguably, couldn't the creator exist in a parallel universe and have created ours?

One thing that shouldn't be ignored is most UBI proposals remove the current means-based welfare in the USA. So, as many people go on the UBI list, many others would disappear off the welfare lists, which means there probably wouldn't be as much disruption as you are expecting. If the UBI is implemented as a negative income tax, some people's net may change even less.
